Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C., an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic Cathedral in D.C.

He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day’s Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindlypoint out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.

The Cardinal replied, "No. I don’t really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church overcertain of Pelosi’s views."

Pelosi’s aide then said, "Look, I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you’ll just tellthe congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."

The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon."

As Pelosi’s aide promised, Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of thecenter aisle.

As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Speaker Pelosi was present.

The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is notnumbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church,and she tends to flip-flop on many other issues.Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief.I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is usingher wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington,and in California. The woman is simply not to be trusted."

The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with President Obama, Pelosi is a saint."
